A spectacularly versatile athlete, Robinson (5-foot-10 1/2, 199) was introduced as a running back on draft day. He could also play receiver and return kicks in the pros after starting for three seasons as the Wolverines' quarterback. A game-breaking runner with lateral jukes and 4.43 long speed, Robinson rushed 723 times for 4,495 yards (6.22 YPC) and 42 touchdowns at Michigan. He only caught three passes.

Draft insider Tony Pauline writes that it looks like Michigan's Denard Robinson "secured a spot for himself in the draft’s second day."
